    Once upon a time, in a bustling village nestled amidst rolling hills, there lived a young man named Arjun. Arjun was known for his impulsive nature and often found himself making decisions without much thought.

    Arjun's actions were not always well-received by the villagers. His impulsiveness often caused problems and misunderstandings. This troubled Arjun, who had a good heart and did not mean to cause harm.

    One day, Arjun came across a wise old sage who sat beneath a Bodhi tree, meditating peacefully. Intrigued by the sage's serene presence, Arjun approached him and asked for guidance.

    "O wise one, how can I learn to make the right decisions in life?" Arjun asked, hoping to find answers to his problems. The sage looked at him with a gentle smile, appreciating his earnestness.

    The sage motioned for Arjun to sit beside him. "My dear child," he began, "making the right decision requires clarity of mind and deep insight into the nature of things."

    "In every decision you make, pause and reflect," the sage advised. "Consider the consequences of your actions not only for yourself but also for others. Cultivate empathy and understanding towards all beings."
